Chapter 4 - Games

- So sorry for not posting in so long, I've just been so busy!!! Promise this will make up for it!!!-

: Snow's POV :

The loft hasn't been the same since Killian's story. Everyone is slowly losing hope. My daughter is different, she wouldn't do what she did to someone she loves. She would never hurt anyone, not even her worst enemy. But Emma hasn't been seen anywhere for a week. We've been researching where we can find Merlin, and more importantly, how we can find him. Then the sorcerer can destroy the darkness, and then everything will be alright.

From the stories this land has, he lives in a Kingdom called Camalot. It's also in the enchanted forest. I have heard of it, from the time when we lived in the enchanted forest. But I do not know where it is. Regina will know, or David. Then we save Emma. Then we bring hope.

But the books says that he's been missing for a while now.

: Killian's POV :

I lay on my bed, on my boat, I haven't left this cabin in a week. It's torture. I keep seeing Emma in my head, the black smoke forming into a human, my human. Her sexy new clothes, tightly wrapped around her body. Sometimes I regret making her leave, I could've had her here with me, we would have sailed away and been happy. Forgetting the fact of what was inside of her heart.

But then I realise who she used to be. That woman, who kissed me on this bed was not the woman I loved. She was someone else. I loved every part of Emma, I wasn't going to let her down, I even loved her dark sides. But the darkness has wiped everything of what she used to be out of her. Like a cloth on a table.

I drift out of my thoughts and back to my cabin, I have nowhere else to go, the Charmings keep offering their couch but it just brings back memories.

'Nows not the time to be jealous.'

Her voice was so soft.

*1 hour passes*

I decide to get out, I haven't eaten in days so I'll go down to granny's. Not to eat. But to drink. Rum.

I come up to see Regina's love, Robin, through the window. Might as well go see and what has happened here over the past week.

: Emma's POV :

I know It's stupid but, I've had this guilt deep inside of me over the past week. I don't need to sleep because of my powers so that hasn't been an issue but I don't feel up to doing anything. I just keep seeing that pirate in my mind. I care for him. Whatever I thought last week when I gave him a visit, it's changed now.  I really care for him.

I need to do something.

I walk around my new house that I've been living in. This dark one really came with the whole package. I come down stairs and stumble across something new.  A Basement.

With a flick of my hand I swoop the door open. I really do love this. The magic gives me such a satisfying feeling. Almost addictive. I step down, holding up my slick black dress, when I reach the bottom however, I see something special. A 'yay your the dark one' present you could say. It really came with everything!

A prisoner...

: Killian's POV :

The bell rings as I push open the door to the diner. I sit down next to Robin, who is looking down at a picture of a small baby.

"Is that?"I ask

"Mine? Yes. Good to see you of your boat." he says, lightly slapping my back.

"thanks." I mutter a reply. "Whys that picture green?" I say, trying to change the subject.

"I don't know, Zelena had an ultrasound and for some reason it turned out green."

"No mean to be rude mate, but in the other world wasn't she green? What if um, the baby, is um.... Green Also?"and for the first time in a week, I stiffle a laugh. He does too, as we imagine a bright green baby.

I remember what I came here for and pulled out my flask, taking a sip.

"oh, what's happened since, um, the thing?" I ask, remembering the last time I saw my Emma.

"Well, we've figured out where Merlin lives, in the Enchanted forest, but he's been missing for some time. So Reginas finding a way to the enchanted forest so we'd can find something of Merlins and use a Locator spell to find him. "

"aye, good plan." I say, finally gaining some hope.

"Order up!" granny shouts and slams a bag of food in front of me.

"Uh, I didn't order anything." A note is stuck to the side of the bag.

"Well, someone paid for it. Take it or leave it " and she walks off, leaving me with the mysterious delivery. I take a closer look at the note, it doesn't just have the order on it, a message is scribbled in a familiar handwriting.

Come outside. I need to talk to you.Emma xPs: No games, promise x

I stare in disbelief. She is still in Storybrooke. And she wants to talk.

"What is it, mate?" Robin asks.

"It's her." I mutter, and leave with the package.

The bell rings again as I leave Granny's Diner, looking down the street. Hoping to see a beautiful woman, with long golden locks and bright green eyes, wearing a blood red jacket and brown boots. Instead I spot a dark figure, with pale skin, white hair tide back in a tight bun and completely black clothes. I walk towards her, those once green, now black eyes drilling into my eyes.

"Come on Captain, I wanna show you something." before I can decline and demand what she wants, I'm being whisked away by dark smoke. Her magic.

I appear outside a large house.  I'd seen it before, but only briefly as I walk to the docks. It's nice, however I don't see what the bloody hell I'm doing here.

: Emma's POV :

Walking up the steps to my house, I call him.

"Come on Killian! In starving!" He walks in behind me, so concerned. I do love him. "What d'you think" I ask, trying to act normal.

"I think I'm surprised you let me in"

I giggle, " I didn't mean what I said last week! I was still adjusting, I guess. We can still be together" that's not entirely a lie.

"ha ha, very funny" he says coldly. What is wrong with him? I'm just trying to be a good girlfriend!

I notice him staring behind me, towards the basement. Shit.

"Let's eat!" I flick my wrist and the bag of food disappears out of his hand and lays itself on my table, unpacked.

: Hook's POV :

She can't be serious. She has to be playing some sort of game.

Whatever she is doing, I nonetheless sit down and take a breadstick, breaking it in half. However my attention keeps being drawn down to a strange door behind Emma. It is heavely locked and looks quite strong. Emma could easily protect it with magic so whatever is down there, must be important to be so heavily secured.

Suddenly she just starts having a normal conversation with me. Like nothing bad is happening at the moment. Like we are just a normal couple. I would so like that. We would wake up at the weekend, after a night of snuggling infront of the TV with a hot cocoa and cinnamon. We would have breakfast then go for a walk along the beach, a cool brease in the air. Maybe have a sail before having a family lunch at the diner.

None of that can happen at this moment in time so this has to stop.

"I'm thinking of getting these really nice he-" I cut her off,

"Stop with the games, Swan. What do you want?" She's shocked by my sudden question.

: Emma's POV:

He's onto me. Those bright blue eyes see right through this. And I love that. It's so damn sexy.

"Do you love me?" I have to ask, I have changed but I still need to know.

After a while, he finally answers my question. If he had taken any longer I really would have had to literally squeeze it out of him. Literally.

"I loved you. Before all these games."

He gets up and leaves, slamming the door behind him. I'm speachless.

After sitting there for a minute, I decide to go down to the basement, to check on my friend. I walk down the steps, my boots echoing throughout the room.

My prisoner's still here.

"Aw, don't you like your home?"
